Into The White: Scott’s Antarctic Odyssey

£7.99

‘Into the White‘ is an excellent re-telling of the story of Robert Falcon Scott’s Terra Nova expedition to the Antarctic. Along with a memorable crew and a band of shaggy ponies and savage dogs, Scott headed into unknown, uncharted territory. Sea storms, impenetrable pack ice, killer whales, crevasses, horrendous weather, extreme temperatures, and equal measures of hunger, agony and snow blindness are described. The team push on against all odds, but concerns about weather conditions and rations are constant. What of the rumours of an attempt at the Pole by the Amundsen’s formidable Norwegian team?

‘Into the White‘ will leave you on the edge of your seat, hoping against hope that Scott and his men might survive their Antarctic ordeal and live to tell the tale. This is a marvellous adventure story, brilliantly told. We recommend ‘Into the White‘ to capable readers aged from 9 or 10 years old.
